HAMADI MANEUVERS.

BONN, WEST GERMANY — HAMADI MANEUVERS. Suspected Lebanese terrorist Mohammad Ali Hamadi will have to face American witnesses Monday, security sources said Wednesday. Hamadi has been detained in West Germany awaiting approval of U.S. requests for his extradition. U.S. authorities accuse Hamadi of involvement in the June 1985 hijacking of a TWA airliner in which one American was killed. The Hezbollah movement in Lebanon kidnapped two West Germans, businessman Rudolf Cordes and technician Alfred Schmidt, early this year in a bid to press for Hamadi's release and to prevent his extradition to the United States, where he faces a possible death sentence. A spokesman of the West German Justice Ministry confirmed that an American delegation was currently in Bonn regarding the Hamadi case.
